Tell Nestea to Stop Abusing Animals
[Ed. Note: It is astounding the unlikely products that are only sold after horrific animal experimentation. Search online for "cruelty-free" products to find online and printed documentation about which products, which foods are or are not contributing to animal abuse.]
Tell Nestea to stop testing on animals and join other brands—such as Lipton, Arizona, Snapple, Honest Tea, Tazo, Twinings, Stash Tea, Celestial Seasonings, Luzianne Tea, and others—that do NOT experiment on animals. Not one of these deadly experiments is legally required for beverage manufacturers.

INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
Before taking your next sip of tea, check the label on the bottle because you may be drinking a cupful of cruelty to animals. Nestlé, the maker of Nestea, is testing and paying others to conduct painful and deadly tea tests on animals. The company has caused animals to suffer simply to investigate the possible health benefits linked to tea products and ingredients, even though not one of these experiments is legally required for beverage manufacturers, and regulators have stated that animal tests are not sufficient to prove a health claim about a product.
In these cruel tests, mice and rats were tormented and then killed by such means as decapitation. The following are some details of the horrors endured by the animals used in Nestea's tea experiments:
Experimenters have taken mice made to suffer brain damage, locked them in dark chambers, and given them painful electric shocks; cut open the leg muscles of mice and then cut off their heads; and force-fed mice and rats and then killed them. Not one of these deadly experiments is legally required for beverage manufacturers.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
